Big Bet Before the BreakWell friends, the NBA is on the verge of its All-Star break to be held over the weekend in Las Vegas (what a terrific venue), so tonight was the last chance to get some action on an NBA game for the next few days. There was a real marquee match up thaTo recap, my pick was the Cavs -7. LeBron James was electric from the opening tip and scored a game high 38 points and Anderson Varejao added 15 points and 11 rebounds, Larry Hughes scored 14, and Eric Snow had 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Cavaliers, who had seven player in double figures. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 34 points, six rebounds and five assists. Lamar Odom had 20 points and eight rebounds and Sasha Vujacic scored 14 for Los Angeles. There were 61 personal fouls and four technicals called in this incredibly slow-moving game. The game was close throughout and I was glad I had 7 points in my pocket. The longer the game stayed competitive I knew my chances of winning would be improved. Bryant scored five points during a 14-5 run to start the second half, giving the Lakers a 68-61 lead. But with James scoring six points, the Cavaliers responded with a 15-2 spurt, putting them ahead 76-70 and drawing groans from the partisan crowd at the Staples Center. Cleveland led 91-85 entering the fourth quarter. The Lakers outscored the Cavaliers 9-2 to start the fourth quarter for a 94-93 lead. Neither team led by more than four points after that until Varejao's late foul shots. A three-point play by Varejao triggered a 15-3 run that put the Cavaliers on top 50-42, and that turned out to be the biggest lead of the game for either team. Vujacic's 3-pointer as the first half ended trimmed Cleveland's lead to 56-54. A 3-pointer by Bryant with 34.3 seconds left moved the Lakers within one. James made a foul shot with 20 seconds left before missing the second, but Varejao got the rebound, the Lakers finally fouled James again with 11.7 seconds to play, and he made two free throws. Bryant missed another 3-pointer with eight seconds left, and Varejao made two free throws to complete the scoring. LeBron wins, Kobe loses, and most importantly, I win. Time for Vegas, baby. Till next time, may all your bets be winners.
